Public art is one of the fastest growing forms of artistic expression in our community.

Twin Rivers is here to help guide artists; to make their ideas become a reality. Twin Rivers works with the City of Mankato and North Mankato on creating public art policy and procedure in order to educate and streamline the process for artists. Twin Rivers also facilitates many calls for art for each city and other public/private partnerships.

CityArt

Twin Rivers facilitates several large scale public art programs through CityArt, a partnership of Twin Rivers Council for the Arts and the City Center Partnership, Greater Mankato’s downtown association. The goals of CityArt are to provide free and accessible public art for the community’s enjoyment and help revitalize our neighborhoods through public art.

PUBLIC art ADVISORY committee

Twin Rivers formed the Public Art Advisory Committee representing Mankato and North Mankato in 2017. The Committee is responsible for developing a public art collection that is integrated into the fabric of the City of Mankato and North Mankato, and reflects a broad range of community input and involvement by artists and art professionals. The Public Art Advisory Committee is responsible for reviewing, advocating and developing public art projects in the public domain for both cities.
